Gardening Season is here

raspberry patch

Yes it has arrived along with the black flies and mosquitoes! I took advantage of the beautiful weather this week to get my gardens ready, weeded and some plants transplanted. This has meant that nothing was getting done in the sewing room. The closest I got to sewing or stitching was a few hexies at guild on Tuesday and some knitting each evening to relax with.
Today it is cool and light rain and I might go out and put in some seeds to get things going.Nothing that is going to freeze though as we had -2 Celsius and some small snowflakes yesterday.

bigger garden

flowers are still blooming

Yesterday was a full gardening day...cleaned out raspberry patch and made a bigger one. Then moved closer to the house and weeded flowerbeds. But the biggest job of increasing my main garden(hubby has his own at another lot we have). There use to be a garage there which was moved and we took out the cement floor last fall so it could settle over the winter. But the most exciting part was I finally got my own greenhouse/potting shed. It is a little rough looking but does the job nicely.

Sorry for the non quilting related post but this is the life of a quilter too!
I am hoping for some slow stitching time but it will be later tonight. For now I am heading back outside in rubber boots and a warm coat. Check in with Kathy and follow along as I do with everyone else who is slow stitching!
